I don't know if it's something from the old days or not, but iirc URLs have a semicolon separator (;) that would go before the ?. I have never seen it being use

I don't know if it's something from the old days or not, but iirc URLs have a semicolon separator (;) that would go before the ?. I have never seen it being used. I'm betting it's even less support than commas!
- toast0 3y agoMy understanding is you can use ; instead of both ? And & Handy if anything actually supported it, because then you could plop parameters on the end of urls without looking to see if there was already a ? I'm sure it's used somewhere, but I can only remember it being used by Yahoo Link Tracking ;_ylt=y64encodedgunk
- recursive 3y agoSemicolon (;) has no special meaning in a URL. You can ascribe it a meaning in your particular routing, but the spec has nothing to say about it. https://url.spec.whatwg.org/ https://url.spec.whatwg.org/
- uranusjr 3y agoIn the OG RFC 2396, each _path segment_ can specify parameters similar to query parameters, but using a semicolon to separate them to the main segment value instead of question mark. This has effects e.g. when calculating relative URLs. This is now obsolete, but many URL-parsing libraries have an API for that for compatibility.
